This book features a groundbreaking translation of Rumi’s poetry by Haleh Liza Gafori.

Rumi’s poems are meant to bring readers to a condition of serenity, compassion, and oneness with the divine.

Gafori’s translations preserve the intelligence and drama of the original Farsi text, offering a fresh and urgent interpretation of Rumi’s spiritual quest.

The poems, sourced from the Diwan-e Shams-e Tabrizi, are arranged to capture the springy, mantric effect of the original ghazals, inviting readers to embrace a more enlightened existence through love and ecstasy.
